TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE —

An aircrew made up of 23 airmen from three different squadrons –all part of Team Travis – completed a Major Command Service Tail Trainer mission Jan. 21-30 alongside joint partners.

The 22nd Airlift Squadron, 60th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 921st Contingency Response Squadron supported the U.S. Marine Corps at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton and the U.S. Coast Guard at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in the joint mission.

Major Command Service Tail Trainers are training-focused missions managed by Air Mobility Command that designate monthly flight hours to the C-5M specifically for training. These missions provide opportunities for airmen to refine their skills and qualifications through multiple flights within a designated timeframe. The Major Command Service Tail Trainer was focused on joint training to help facilitate joint operations interoperability and enhance readiness capabilities.

“This MSTT allows us to put to practice various concepts of the Combat Agile Employment model and increase our proficiency as aviators without using a mission allocated tail,” said Capt. Alec Dawson, 22nd Airlift Squadron
